Political Economy with Werner Mouton

Fair Rules, Unequal Beginnings


Listen Later

This episode examines the structural tension between capitalism’s claim to fairness and the profound inequality of starting positions it relies on. 
We explore how accumulated advantage compounds across generations, how rules that appear neutral reinforce unequal outcomes, and how this arrangement is framed as inevitable, even as it is the result of deliberate design. 

This is not about resentment, but about understanding the architecture of a system that works predictably for some and predictably against others.
